Finish an early dinner before the fireworks and prepare for the show
About this spot
Before the fireworks festival begins, it's wise to finish dinner before the crowds arrive. Around JR Asaka Station, there are local eateries and restaurants where you can enjoy dishes made with ingredients unique to Yamaguchi Prefecture. The stalls and concessions near the venue become increasingly crowded as show time approaches. Choosing a calm dining environment during this earlier time slot will give you the composure to fully enjoy the evening's spectacle. After dinner, proceed directly to the venue to secure your viewing spot.
Fireworks details
Name: 厚狭夏まつり花火大会
Date & time: 7/28 (Tue) 20:00–20:30
Venue: 山陽小野田市・厚狭川河畔
Shells: approx. 1,500
2026年7月28日(火)20時、厚狭夏まつり花火大会が開幕します。山陽小野田市の厚狭川河畔から打ち上がる約1,500発は、川面に光を映しながら夏の夜空を次々と彩ります。水辺ならではの開放感の中で見る花火は、音の響き方も格別で、打ち上げのたびに川面がきらめきます。コンパクトな時間(約30分)の中に見ごたえのある花火が凝縮され、地元の夏まつりの温かなにぎわいとともに楽しめるのがこの大会の魅力です。フィナーレの連発が夜空を明るく照らす瞬間は、この1日のクライマックスです。
Tips
荒天時の開催可否は山陽小野田市の公式発表を事前に確認しましょう。終了直後はJR厚狭駅へ向かう人が集中するため、フィナーレ後はその場で少し余韻を楽しんでから移動すると混雑を分散できます。帰りの道は暗いため、スマホのライトや小さなライトがあると安心です。
